*Erin says that Pierrot and Rose are twins when describing this book. This is wrong - they are not even related. If you notice the strange sounding "babies" throughout this section, it's because Peter is trying to fix Erin's mistakes.

Peter's Friday Plays: Final Fantasy IX + Sonic the Hedgehog(movie)

Erin's Recommendation: Bellweather Rhapsody by Kate Racculia

Peter's Recommendation: Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii + Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Switch
